I guess we better start up a new thread.

Golden State Warriors look to start the defense of their Championship tonight. Primetime on TNT.

Philly v Boston in the early game.

My prediction is the Lakers lose by 45 tonight. Anthony Davis gets hurt in the first quarter and will miss the next 20 games. LeBron will score 40 and it won’t matter.

It went as predicted by most, not quite as catastrophic as Brett's predictions..... AD, LBJ and RW filled up empty stats on some high volume shooting. They couldn't hit a 3 pointer to save their life in the first half. Not much defense. But even the rookie fan can see that the Lakers need SHOOTERS. Team makeup is just wrong to go with AD and LBJ.

Warriors went with the 11 man rotation, it was interesting to see the young guys get a lot of playing time. Warriors were a bit rusty on the shooting as well, but were able to pull away. Some good looks for Wiseman. Kuminga struggled to score, plus turnovers and fouls. Poole was good. Curry ended up with over 30. Other vets were all solid.

I was bowling league last night so I didn’t even see the game not that I really would’ve watched anyway. But clearly the Lakers are fucking horrible as we’ve all been saying.

Lol..looking at the line you'd think they may have won. But yeah I'll put the over under at 5 games for AD getting hurt and not playing again til February

Lakers "might" have the worst 3 through 10 guys in the league.

Hard to judge the team defence when they play GS but they look awful on that side of the ball.

I think they might go that deep all year. It would keep some miles off of klay and steph.

I agree. I think this will be the plan all year with Steph (soon to be 35), Klay (soon to be 33) and Andre Iguodala (soon to be 39 years old). Also, several games where they won't play at all, especially back 2 backs.

I also like Moses Moody. He hardly played yesterday, but will be a big bench piece going forward this season.
